Thank you for this. I'm going to have to give it a try as someone "accidentally" bought me a SpaceNavigator a couple of years back and I haven't been able to use it for much.
One suggestion: put up a website and link to it. One of my biggest complaints with the open source community is the lack of documentation software authors like to make available. After reading this, I had to Google your software which took me to the Freshmeat site that didn't link to a site, just a tarball. I now have to download the tarball and extract just to get a glimpse of any real docs. Yeah, it's not a lot of work, but multiply that by the potentially hundreds or thousands of people who'd be interested in this and the amount of work on our part is significantly higher than you simply spending the five minutes to setup a web page with a README on it.
